Great addicting game!!!! I have never really enjoyed racing style games until I purchased this title. I found no problems with the graphics or the fact that the title comes with 5 cd's. (This seems to bother most people... go make a cup of coffee and stop complaining already.) I currently have a Radeon X700 512 AGP graphics card, which works great and makes the game look great. Controls are very easy and keyboard controls are preferable. This game has difficult AI, which makes the game very challenging. I find myself spending more time on destroying the other cars on the track then focusing on the race. Something about sending your opponents out the car window after slamming them into a wall that brings a smile to my face. Altogether a great game and a great price. For all those complaining about the graphic requirements of the game, GO BUY A PS2 or XBOX.

Even I like crashing the car...

Not a 'sim' but just a nice game. Good graphics. Smart AI.
Good game-play (but not easy). My favorite is the 'derby'
mode (crash into your opponents on-line).

What a blast!

I cant believe there wasn't more hype around this game!
I heard about it by just kind of browsing around and checking some scattered reviews.

While it's pretty difficult at times, the game play is a lot of fun!
The graphics are pretty impressive as well, I wasn't expecting much and they look pretty good.
You wont be getting next-gen visulas with Shader4.0 and normal mapping or any of the fancy new poly-mapping but for Direct X 9 I'd say the team behind this game really pushed it hard and got a nice looking game.
the best part is that I can run it at 1920x1080 with all the graphics on high with 4X anti-aliasing and I get great frame rates.

I've got a pretty beefy laptop but that's still impressive.

Physics are a blast, the cars get dented and fall apart hoods come flying off, side doors get ripped off, glass and metal go flying every where. In a derby I even wound up minus a wheel and was sliding around on the axel.
Awesome.

You get nitro by slamming into other drivers and tearing up the landscape, as you progress the race tracks become more elaborate with jumps, shortcuts and plenty things to knock over for the driver behind you to run into.
Since almost everything is destructible that looks destructible it's a whole lot of chaos at high speed.

The game uses the blur effect during nitro boosts that is also used in Need For Speed Most Wanted, but to a much more subtle degree, it's actually cool in this game rather than annoying.

There's a party mode where you can set up a tourny with friends and take turns launching your driver(complete with rag doll physics) into giant dart boards, bowling pins, slam him into a baseball bat to be whacked across a field... it's sick, yes, but really funny.

I haven't tried the online modes, but I'll definitely buy another one and LAN with the other PC's in my house.

For the price, pssshhhh, why not!

Hard to beat for the Money!

The price range on this game is excellent and I don't think anyone would regret buying this one.

Most everything has been said already that I would have commented on and I agree with all of the positive posts so far.

There is also a modest MOD community out there that will allow you to add more cars and tracks. This does break online play though unless you are running the exact same mods as the other players.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun good looking racing game.

Flat Out 2 lots of fun

I was looking for a demolition derby game when I found this. Great. I had some multiplayer problems at first, but I have no problems now. I love how all the cars handle so differently.

Twisted family fun...

This game is great fun... Two boys under the age of 10 are both very good at the multi-player games and often play all 12 in a sitting which is a feat for them since they can't sit still through a 30 minute meal at home...

Who doesn't love crashing and bashing cars on the track. I have played Flat Out and Flat Out 2 on the PC, this makes those both pale in comparison. The graphics are awesome, the sound track is great, well worth the money for this game.

Great but flawed

This could be a great game. Unfortunately, its attempt to 'randomize' gameplay makes it amazingly frustrating.

Hitting a small rubber cone, for example, either rewards you with nitro or takes you completely out of contention. No rhyme or reason.

Tons of fun!

This is not your average driving game (because who wants to simulate normal driving on your PC if they already drive in real life?) No, this game is all about crashing up your car on the race course or in a destruction derby while striving to come out on top. There is also a stunt mode where the objective is to launch your driver through the windshield to hit targets (with a bone-crunching splatter) for points. Simple but thoroughly entertaining and stress-free gaming.

Easier than original FO

This game is much easier to learn than the original. the beginning levels let you win while learning the ropes. The only real issue I had was it will not let you play using an image. I use Alcohol 120% to creat images of my games to prevent the CD's from getting scratched up when I switch them out over and over. The Securom antipiracy programming prevents this, so you cant make a backup of the original or play with an image.
